Thank you very much. I had the car towed at a family run repair shop (pretty reliable based on past experience) and the diagnostics was: The engine mounts are busted and the struts (all four) needs to be replaced. Apparantly, due to the busted engine mounts, the engine gets raised up durring acceleration and the drive shaft comes loose from the gear box!! Please advice if this is possible at all!! The total job of replacing the engine mounts, servicing the transmission and changing the struts plus towing will cost around $ 1300.00. Thanks for all your help. Best Regards,

Thank you for your help. I did check the transmission fluid level as suggested and the level is fine. The Kwik Car (Lube place) mechanic says: The transmission solenoids are bad! This will need to be checked and may cost anywhere from $1200 t0 $1500! I am confused and I am not sure is it worth it!! Please advice. Thank you,

This is weird. My ES300 is acting up: The car runs for 300 feet and slowly stops even when engaged in Drive. The engine would keep idling but the car would not move. After turning the engine off and restarting the car it would go forward for 200 -300 feet and stall. Can any one help diagnose the problem! Thanks, Thank you for your help.

My AC unit got busted recently at 125K miles on my ES300. Could someone please advice on the price tag to fix it. I was told by a reliable garage that the reconditioned compressor etc..plus labor will cost around $1000 to fix it. Does this sound reasonable! Also, please advice on how often the compressor goes bad! Thank you. Best Regards, --------------------

how often does the struts need replacement :o
